Exactly why you and all Linux fanatics can't understand why corporate America and home users don't care for your OS jihad. Let's put it in non Windows-vs-Linux terms you closed-minded OSS fanatics (contradictory, hmm? but realistic) may be open to listening to. Mac OS X is based on a Unix variant. Look at how EASY it is to use! The level of automation and lack of segfaults and coredumps have been built into people's general expectation of their computers for years. When they double click on a file with an association, they want the program to run and load the file. The last time I checked, Linux purported to have this capability, but it worked like total crap! Hell, OS/2 had better file association than the Linux win managers have. I don't think OSS works because even with all the jihad propaganda that Linux and OSS puts out, Apple took only 2 years to create a window manager that is 100x better than both Gnome and KDE. Why? Accountability. When you're paying someone, it assures you the vendor will be accountable. Capitalism vs. Communism. Ever seen a labor union member get overenthusiastic about delivering quality work? 'Nuff said! OSS sucks!!!
BTW, I am a Windows developer and owner with a love for the new OS X. True, Win3.1 had gen prot faults, but then I've been using NT for the last 5 years and have had no problems.
